cooxme Specification of To all whom; it may concern: Be it known thatI, DAVID NEWMAN PAs-' GHAL, a, citizen of the United States, residing at Richmond, in the county of Henrico and State of Virginia, have invented new. and useful Improvements in Cooking Utensils, of which the following is a specification. Y This invention relates to cooking utensilssuch' as-are employed for boiling or stewing is designed to permit of diiferent products being cooked at the same time with the aid of a single burner.

The invention, among other features, con templates the provision of a pan of sufficient diameter to accommodate a series of individual-receptacles being placed therein, certain of said receptacles being formed with concavedinner walls to accommodate the other receptacle fit ing between the first mentioned receptacles. v

A still further bject of the invention is l the provision of a plurality of individual sector-shaped receptacles,-

allowing the receptacles to snugly fit within the pan and to contact with one another.

provide at a point below and in spaced re: .lation with the under surface 'ofthe bottom, an annular flange 9 adapted when the pan is supported over a flameto permitof a perfect distribution of the heat from the flame over the entirebottom of the receptacle.

The purpose of" a plurality of "sector-shaped individualjfood receptacles 10 to be assembled'therein, but if so desired, such receptacles 'may be removed-from the pan'and the pan utilized v or roasting meats and the like products. Each of the individual sectorshaped receptacles 10 is identical in construction and comprises a deep body portion 11 formed with a-- curved outer wall 12,, a bottom wall 13, and a pair of side walls the sector-shaped food receptacles, are in convenient reach of the user of such utensil, to readily permit of oneor all of the receptacles being removed or placed within the pan 5 in a simple and expedltious manner.

The curvature of the outer wall 12 of the sector-shaped receptacles 10, conforms to the annular contour of the wall 7 of the pan adapting the receptacles to snugly engage with the inner'contour of the annular wall 7 when the receptacles are reposed upon the bottom 6 of said-pan, whereas the oppositely inclinedside walls of of the receptacles snugly engaging with: one another, and the concavedinner wall forms between the, confronting front faces of the.

with ahinged closure 20.

Froin' he foregoing description, taken in connection] with the accompan drawing, the advantages of constructmn and the such receptacles allow method of operation will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art to which the invention relates, and while I have described the principles of operation of the invention, together with the device which I now consider tobe the best embodiment thereof, I desire to have it understood that the device shown is merely illustrative and that such changes may be made when desired as are within the scope of the' appended claim.

Having thus described the invention, I claim:

In a device of the class described, a pan including an annular side wall, an imperforate bottom, and an annular flanged member extending downwardly below the bottom, and in alinement with the side Wall, then deflected inwardly in a direction substantially parallel with the bottom and having its edge portion deflected upward and outward toward the outer portion of the pan forming a pocket for heated air, anda plurality of independent receptacles carried by the pan for containing different 25 articles of food.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.

DAVID NEWMAN PASCHAL.
